it never made it out of the house. considering that it was 67% tax cuts and the republicans still killed it, what can president obama do to help spur job creation at this point. >> not much of anything. what we need to stop doing is stop pretending that republicans really care about the debt. they are the one that voted for the bush tax cuts now three times. they are the ones who put two unfunded wars on a credit card, and now they're pretending that they really care about the debt when it comes to poor people getting services. that's what we need to stop pretending right there. what can obama do? what we thought he could do four years ago with a congress like this is anyone's guess. >> john: lee, what's your take? has obama painted himself in a corner he can't go any further on revenue. he's boxed in? >> it's all a catastrophe. it's a logjam and congressional difficulty. they spent over $50 million just fighting against healthcare. >> we're talking about the vast amount of american people. now it's being sold as socia
